原版英文故事与诗歌:The cat that walked by himself(在线收听

   Pussy can sit by the fire and sing,

 
  Pussy can climb a tree,
 
  Or play with a silly old cork and string
 
  To 'muse herself, not me.
 
  But I like Binkie my dog, because
 
  He knows how to behave;
 
  So, Binkie's the same as the First Friend was,
 
  And I am the Man in the Cave!
 
  Pussy will play man-Friday till
 
  It's time to wet her paw
 
  And make her walk on the window-sill
 
  (For the footprint Crusoe saw);
 
  Then she fluffles her tail and mews,
 
  And scratches and won't attend.
 
  But Binkie will play whatever I choose,
 
  And he is my true First Friend!
 
  Pussy will rub my knees with her head
 
  Pretending she loves me hard;
 
  But the very minute I go to my bed
 
  Pussy runs out in the yard,
 
  And there she stays till the morning-light;
 
  So I know it is only pretend;
 
  But Binkie, he snores at my feet all night,
 
  And he is my Firstest Friend!
 
  Rudyard Kipling
